Hidden Love

Chapter 11

Marina’s POV

“didn’t she just say that her leg was paining?” I wondered.

“Yeah, she’s weird sometimes” Jason replied.

“Oh did I say that aloud?” I asked. He chuckled.

“Yeah you did. Is the injury that bad?” he teased me.

“Shut up” I said him but smiled. What does he think, no I didn’t damage my brain.

“Do you want to rest or… ?” he asked me.

“C’mon Jason. I told you I’m fine. You worry too much.” I replied but a smile was not leaving my face. He was worrying for me, and this made me happy for some unknown reason.

“Okay if you say so, let’s go then” we both stood from our places and started walking towards the main door of the resort. Like a gentle man he opened the door stepping beside for me to walk. Wait No no noo….shit!

The smile I had suddenly faded by his action. Once when I was in my school, I heard guys always said ‘ladies first’ so that they could stare at their asses. My guy friends all respected me but there was a jerk who all the time made me walk first, I always took it as a sweet gesture. Oh how stupid was I. One day I heard him talking about how sexy my ass was  and  how he always made fool of me to a group of his jerky friends. I heard it and stomped in and hit him in the right place between his legs. Huh!! He deserved it. When I’m good, I’m good…but if you play with me I’ll show you how to play the game exactly. Oops that’s just a saying, sure I’ll beat the person but…umm…a little secret…don’t tell anyone, okay? I may behave like I’m very tough but actually I’m a scared little girl from inside. I get scared easily, but I don’t wanna admit it. Well forget about that, so where was i…yeah so after beating him up I ran out for my life as fast as I could fearing that he may follow me and I’ll end up dead. I never walked alone in the school halls after that, and specially never faced him. See I told you I’m such a baby.

“Marie?” he asked snapping me out of my own little talking session, he waved his hand in front of my eyes to catch my attention.

“umm..ya..i”

“are you alright? You wanna rest?”

“no no..i-I just” searching for a reason I said so fast that even I had to concentrate what I actually said, a blank expression on my face “Ibelieveinguys’firstthing” I blinked rapidly watching his expression changing from concerned to confused. (I believe in guys’ first thing)

“W-What?” he asked and I smiled sheepishly. My brain wasn’t working properly, so I did one  more of a foolish act. I grabbed his hand and walked out of the door so that no one is first or last, but together. When the word together clicked in my head I froze, instantly released his hand, uneasiness falling on me. From the corner of my eye I looked at him and his expression was priceless; a mixture of awkwardness, confusion, happiness and hurt. I gulped in the lump forming in my throat.

What the hell is going on!!!

“I-I want” my tongue was playing tricks on me. Oh how even your own tongue can leave you in moment of need, I heard people do but here my own body parts were playing tricks with me. I spotted elders resting on the bleachers enjoying the sun and the beautiful surroundings , Mason was flirting with the girls. I didn’t want to look at Jason for nooo reason, I looked around me and there was no sign of Suzy and even Joe. Ahh idea!! “I want to see, Suzy. Umm..bye” I turned on my heels to walk away from him. My eyes gawked out of their respective places when a warm hand grabbed my wrist from behind.
